I'm almost done with my rebuild of my 87 D90. I installed the 250ci using a kit i purchased from Robert in Virginia USA. The install is super easy and the motors are very sturdy and full of torque.

No issues at all.
500 us for the motor
1800 for the whole kit
new clutch
run an accelerator linkage off of the pedal.
welded downpipe from the manifold to the original exhaust, added a borla muffler.

I converted mine to a holley sniper EFI so no more carburetor issues. Sure beats a 19j.

&t=1s
up hill in starting in second

first start
&t=3s
